What a lovely show.. and what a  grand report from Michael!  8)
You have done us proud with these suoer photos, Michael... I am ashamed at the shaky efforts I will be posting later from the Perth SRGC. Show :-[

It may be the fact that I am sitting at the BBC without prospect of an early lunch... but those cakes looks out of this world..... :) :)

What a wonderful show Michael and a super record of it all. Thanks so much for sharing it with us. Too many favourites for me to name, every plant seemed like a winner. Cassiope 'Jim Lever' was great and Susan's Best in Show. I don't know that species. Good to see NZ's Ozothamnus coralloides in good heart too.

Re the Erinacea anthyllis, I sowed seed from my own 4 days ago. It had germinated yesterday! (3 days of rain.)

Great report, Michael. It looks like a wonderful show, with a very superior line in cakes and raffle prizes - it says a lot about our fellow forumists if you look at how many 'hits' the photos of the cakes have!
